Morroblivion

Daaang. Well good work Thermador, this was much needed!

Thank you!

I've updated the main post with you're asignment choice.
When you get him done, upload him to mediafire and post a link here. Then I'll start adding it to a new esm release when we get more files collected. :D
You can always upload a partially complete file so we can look at it, or you can ask questions about it etc.

Good luck and happy recording! 

this may speed up your efforts a bit ive found some voice over addons that
where made for morrowind, so could be used here:

hope this helps :)

Sweet! I didn't see any of your posts until just now, so I didn't see the recent activity!

KazXXX and Solin: Sounds sweet! Pick any name from the first post in this thread and let me know you're doing them. Then I'll tag it asigned to you. :D When you get done with a voice, upload it to mediafire (or whathave you) and then pm me the link or post it here. Good luck!

Gidz89: Great work man! These sites could help a lot! Can you:

1) Ask each site if they'ed be willing to let us use their files (we'll credit them for what they give us). We can't use files without permission.

2) Grab the files they let you use, use the C.S. to properly rename them / put them in the right folder, and then post them here?
-That could end up being a fair deal of work for you (or anyone else that wants to help / do this if you don't want to), but it could provide us a LOT of files to work with and really get this voiced mod back on its feet. :D 

If you want to do part of that, but not all of it, please do and let me know / give us what you can and hopefully someone else will be willing to finish the job. :D

Haha, sorry to hear about your nose. The rest of the post sounds great.

You definitely look the part. ;D

Hmmm. I'd say you'll want to ask Dave B about the credits stuff.

Well if you're up for figuring out the cs, it's a free download and the first post in this thread should be enough to get it started, but if you're not up for that, I can understand that too. :D

I hear you with the CK. I'd try to help but I have no idea how. I'd like better rig myself.

Yeah, ask Dave about Credits; that's the place to start, then maybe talking to SB you might be able to find a way to rename files without using the CK at all. SB works with generated dialogue, and so he may be able to give you a sheet that would tell you what to name the files. ;)

Hmm, over my cold, attempted a recorded audition for the part of Argonians. http://www.mediafire.com/?9leiy6vov3ybfo5

Get the feeling it's not as good as I used to be, but then maybe it's the whole sounding different when hearing it coming from a source other than your own gob. I'll leave it to you fine people to judge. I'm my own harshest critic, and I know I need to practice it for a while before recording in future.

Even if you say no, I'll try out for a different role.

Dang man. If anything you're too manly and sinister... considering morrowind's background: that's perfect!

Go for it!

3) Is there any quick easy way to get all of the lines that every Argonian actually speaks, or am I going to have to go through and manually write out each line and then cross reference that I haven't already done that line from an NPC way back before?

The third question is the one I'm most interested in an answer to at the moment, as sifting through the Construction Set or playing the game and screencaping every conversation with every Argonian has the possibility of me missing a few.

YES, there is a way, so let me show it to you:

1. Startup the Con-Set
2. Load Morrowind_ob.ESM
3. Open tab [ Character ]
4. Select the option [ Export Dialogue ]
5. Press [ YES ]

If you manage to extract a complete export file,
please feel free to share it with me !

Hi, I want to try to make some voices. I think I could try with the Khajiit or Nord or Orc ones (since I think that more "noble" races are reserved to those with good english accent :)). I could also try the voices that shoud be sound crazy, I like to make crazy voices. I can pronounce Mjoll The Lioness's accent without problem (Skyrim NPC, there's also other NPC's in Skyrim voiced with the same accent) since my native language Serbian uses the same accent.

I am 24 old male.

I am interested in voicing the Male Orcs in this game. Here is my audition, please let me know if you can think there is room for improvement and I will get to work on those improvements straight away.

http://www.mediafire.com/?mqe2ab4fj78avck

If you feel this voice would suite a different race better, just say and I will put another audition forwards for that race, with some lines from them.

Quick thought:

Obviously, one thing that voiced dialogue can't do is add player-name to dialogue, and I've already told myself that where it uses the player's name, I'll either ignore the name, or replace it with something like 'you' or 'stranger' or something apropriate for required disposition that whatever greeting/topic has.

However, I've noticed that other things have a similar habit, such as certain generic dialogue having them say their name, and then there's player-faction/rank. Part of me is half tempted to just brush over such in the same way that the player-name is, but the more dedicated part of me is musing that it would be proper to do things, well, properly, but must ask whether there is actually a way to set it so each character's generic dialogue can be slightly different when voiced?

Yes, this is my absolute useless-ness as scripting/construction set-ing/anything-involving-anything-more-complex-than-breathing speaking.

It would be my luck that I go the high road only to find out that the easy road was the right road.

Cool. It's exciting for me to see you guys working on this thread. :D

Solin, that's a great point. To make lines that are unique to player's rank etc would be a bit tricky. You'd have to record a different dialogue line for each faction, and then we'd have to use the cs to have each line have it's own conditions based on that faction.

I'm thinking it's overall wiser to just do as you're saying and say "you" or "Stranger" or "Foreigner" or something. Just because that could otherwise get super super complicated. Then, later we always have the opportunity to revise. Unless someone volunteers to do that in the CS and send me an esp.

first of all you guys (and gals) are doing a GREAT JOB this mod really will complete Morrowind. that being said I would love to do a voice but I have no idea which to do. Does anyone have like a adution sheet I can read from or something and a mediator point me in the right direction? More importantly my girlfriend loves Morrowind and is willing to do some much needed female voices so as soon as I get some direction ill start recording!

P.S. if you guys need help with anything I have A LOT of free time

Where are all of the important people? I really want to get this going!!

Alright! Keep working and don't lose heart!

:D

Hi there

I am very interested in voice acting, but an amateur and would really enjoy it to contribute to your work.  :)

I am German but my command of English is quite well. I can send you a probe if you want to.

I would prefer the Breton but everything else is fine for me, too.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you don't really need to audition.  We are in extreme need of voice actors, with no shortage of NPCs that need to be audio.  Just pick one that you think you would be good at, post what you are doing, and then follow all of the steps in the first post and upload your completed work.

Perhaps its time the few of you working so hard on this mod, make a few accomodations to make it easier for us all to help out? I don't know how to use the construction kit/set of any TES game, and I really dont on installing all of morroblivion just to help, that said, I would be will to help no problem.

First thing, I was origionally thinking Altmer, then after checking every single character I realized there are no male altmers required in the list. I see that I could do general, but thing is, whats the point? If there are no altmer we need to speak to for the main game, why should we even bother with general? Shouldn't we just skip that for now? I think our main goal is to get the main quest done right?

Second thing, Dunmers

So yes they have an amazing voice naturally in morrowind, but the thing is, 99% of the characters are dunmer, and its a hard fucking voice to pull off.  For the sake of ever getting this done, perhaps more of us need to do dunmer voices, wether we sound like the origional dunmer or not? Which is more realistic, everyone in a race having their own unique voice or them all sounding the same?  I say we all just start getting characters done, do our best, and we agree, that in time, if someone offers to do our characters, and do a better job than us, were willing to let our voice files be wiped from morroblibion and let someone better suited do them?  I think it would be great help to the game, and garner more attention, to be able to boast "main quest fully voice acted!" than to boast "15 percent of main quest fully voice acted, but its a hell of a job!"  besided like I said, if in three years john says, man I do a better Cossades, he can post his submission, next to that of the origonal author, and people here in the forum can vote on which to go with?

Lastly, and I know this has been a long post but bear with me, I the moment I dont have morrowind, the expansions, or oblivio installed, althought I might download them someday, but I love whats being done here and I want to help.  We need to get work done, and if some of you pro's would be willing to get the lines, and post them for individual characters, that way non-modders can look at the lines and try them out, i guarentee you will see at least 45% more volenteers, I tokk one look at what all id have to download and do in order to help, and said "fuck man, that'd take hours and hours just downloading everything and trying to find some of the files."

 So if anyone will get me all the altmer generic texts, Ill record a few and send them in and let you guys decide if you want me to do it all, and if so, I will do it all.

 OR, and I actually think this is more important, pick dunmer male, I dont care who, someone without too many lines as a test, and im serious itd be awesome if you picked one for me, been too long since I played to remember who has a lot of text and who doesnt, and send me their lines, I'll submit that. Fuck, maybe do both.

  btw, if cursing isn't allowed, I apologize, please dont block me without giving me a chance to just edit the post first.

  and no, im not downloading and setting everything up to run morrowblivion at this time, so if no one is will to help me get the lines and dialogue, ill just not do it, but i really think it would be in this mods interest to to post the dialoge for all characters were working on now, in a sepparate massive thread. I really think, despite a bit of work to get it, it would really pay off in the end.

Are the Dunmer for Skywind going to be the old gravely voiced ones? If so I would like to lend my Voice Acting skills to this project. Here are some samples...

http://soundcloud.com/cabius/sets/elder-scrolls-voice-acting

Do I just pick a couple characters? Would I just follow the dialogue from Morrowind for the NPC?

I am also decently versed in the use of the Creation Kit if you guys need help in any other way.

I'd like to give a shot Yagrum. I don't think my voice suits Dunmer males really well, but I could give a shot at him. I've been listening to the three recorded voices attributed to him in the construction set, and I believe I can imitate that voice pretty well. I'll record a few sample dialogue files for him and send them over, using a couple variations (perhaps some that are different from the recorded voices attributed to him, which weren't used in Morrowind). If you like it, I'll work on the rest of the files. I won't be offended if you don't like it: I'm not a voice actor, so feel free to criticize / reject. I have friends that are good voice actors, and I have plans to ask them to coach me a bit. I only like giving in quality work :P

He has a pretty heavy lisp. It's understandable, but I could understand some people not liking it. For those that have heard it, should I stick with the original voice or try something different?

Also, how would you pronounce Lord Fyr? Is it Fire / Fear / Fur? I was leaning towards the first one.

Also, since he is a major character, I'll understand if you want a more experienced Yagrum. I'm pretty sure I can enlist the help of one of my friends who IS experienced if that's preferable. I have been told I have talent, but that's only with certain voices.

Go for it! I don't know who's running shit here, but we definitely need voiced dialog! Also, the voiced dialog would be used for Morroblivion and Skywind.

Good to see this still in production. :D

@pavio JSUK Yagrum Bagarn is a Dwemer, not a Dunmer ;)

I believe Divayth Fyr would be pronounced div-ayf-fur, and i reckon you should record however you should feel it should sound and see what people think. :)

It's exciting to see so much activity on this thread!

For FAQs and instructions, please see the first post.

Thanks everyone!
